I found some information on giving yourself a facial.  It is not as difficult as you would think.  There are several types of facial techniques.  In this blog, I have posted the first and will follow up with the second and third during the next 2 days. 

DO IT YOURSELF FACIAL MASSAGE

Recipe for an oil massage: Carrot and Calendula Complexion Conditioner

Recipe for an oil massageThe facial massage oil is the one which suits up all skin types with an exception for very oily skin, couperose skin and sunburned ones. It is considered to be a moisturizing facial massage oil that is deep penetrating and gentle. The facial massage shows up the truth during the winter months especially, where you will have the soft smooth and glowing skin instead of the rash ones. Facial massages are sure to penetrate deeply increasing the circulation and thus retaining moisture within.

Ingredients:

  • Sesame oil or hazel nut oil or jojoba oil depending on the skin type – 2 tablespoon
  • Carrot seed essential oil – 6 drops
  • Calendula essential oil – 4 drops

Method:

  • In a dark glass bottle mix all the ingredients.
  • Mix it thoroughly by shaking it.
  • Can use the oil within one year.

Facial massages have proved to be the best relieving stress and tension, by promoting the lymph and blood circulation. Continuing facial massage daily helps in promoting the youthfulness and tightening of the skin. There are different types of facial massages which can be carried out on daily basis.

FIVE MINUTES FACIAL MASSAGE: TYPE 1

  • Facial massage type 1Take about two teaspoon of the oil into the palm and begin with the base of the throat gently massaging in upwards motion. Massage gently with alternate hands. Slowly progress towards your jaw line to the base of your ears.
  • Massage in circular motion into the cheeks and ears gently.
  • Then, beginning from the inner part of the eyes, gently tap the eyes with the fingers and move slowly towards the outer edge.
  • With the fingers, carefully massage gentle strokes outwards the forehead starting from the center. Continue by using both the hands and thus end up circular strokes over the forehead and temples.
  • The same steps are to be repeated 5 times each day. By this time, the entire oil might have been absorbed into the skin. Thus the need of wiping off the oil is not necessary
